Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to clarify the effect of Type I diabetes (DIA) on transcapillary PO gradients, which are oxygen-driving factors between the blood and the interstitium, in the contracting muscle of rats.
Methods: Wistar male rats were divided into the diabetic (streptozocin i.p.) and sham groups. Microvascular and interstitial PO were measured in the extensor digitorum longus muscle during electrical stimulation-induced muscle contraction, using the phosphorescence quenching method. Transcapillary PO gradient, ΔPO, was calculated as microvascular minus interstitial PO.
Results: Resting microvascular PO was higher in the diabetic group than in the sham group (6.3 ± 1.7 vs. 4.7 ± 0.9 mmHg, p < 0.05) and remained for 180 s. Interstitial PO from rest to muscle contraction did not differ between the groups. The ΔPO was higher in the diabetic group than in the sham group at rest and during muscle contraction (4.03 ± 1.42 vs. 2.46 ± 0.90 mmHg at rest; 3.67 ± 1.51 vs. 2.22 ± 0.65 mmHg during muscle contraction, p < 0.05). Marked muscle atrophy was observed in the diabetic group.
Conclusion: DIA increased microvascular and transcapillary PO gradients in the skeletal muscle. The enhanced PO gradients were maintained from rest to muscle contraction in diabetic muscle.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis on transcapillary PO2 gradients (ΔPO2) in contracting skeletal muscle.
Methods: Male Wistar rats (n = 16, 10 weeks old) were randomly assigned to sham or CLP groups. Seven days after surgery, microvascular (PO2mv) and interstitial (PO2is) PO2 levels in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle were measured using the phosphorescence quenching method during the transition from rest to electrically induced muscle contractions.

Purpose: This review recalls the principles developed over a century to describe trans-capillary fluid exchanges concerning in particular the lung during exercise, a specific condition where dyspnea is a leading symptom, the question being whether this symptom simply relates to fatigue or also implies some degree of lung edema.
Method: Data from experimental models of lung edema are recalled aiming to: (1) describe how extravascular lung water is strictly controlled by "safety factors" in physiological conditions, (2) consider how waning of "safety factors" inevitably leads to development of lung edema, (3) correlate data from experimental models with data from exercising humans.
Results: Exercise is a strong edemagenic condition as the increase in cardiac output leads to lung capillary recruitment, increase in capillary surface for fluid exchange and potential increase in capillary pressure.

This chapter describes main strategies of surgical gene delivery in large animals. Existing methods of cardiac gene transfer can be classified by the site of injection, interventional approach, and type of cardiac circulation at the time of transfer. Randomized clinical trials have suggested that the therapeutic benefits of gene therapy are not as substantial as expected from animal studies.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore blood deoxygenation across cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) for functional characterization of AVM vasculature.
Materials And Methods: Fifteen patients with cerebral arteriovenous vascular malformation were prospectively studied by digital subtraction angiography and using a 3 T magnetic resonance imaging system, with which three-dimensional (3D) gradient echo data for the calculation of quantitative susceptibility maps, velocity-encoded 3D gradient echo data for 3D flow assessment, and contrast-enhanced 3D time-of-flight data were acquired.The nidus, major supplying artery, and major draining veins were identified on digital subtraction angiography, and volumes of interest of the AVM nidus, AVM-related inflow and outflow vessels, and non-AVM-related normal veins were drawn on coregistered contrast-enhanced 3D time-of-flight data.
